Grief is a strange emotion but a necessary one I've decided. It is a process that we all have to go through at sometime, whoever we are. One of my closest friends died a year ago today and I have struggled to come to terms with her departure. Yes, I am glad she is without pain but I miss her. A vibrant, funny, generous young woman, whose friendship I treasured and always will. Her passing made me think very seriously about my life (without meaning to sound too profound) and what I am about. Just recently I listened to and read posts on various blogs referring to Joseph Campbell's 'Following your Bliss' and afresh it has made me realise that it is never too late to do just that BUT it can take a long time to get there and you need to be patient. One of these days perhaps I will be able to bring myself to delete her last few texts from my mobile, I don't need to read them but I like to know that they will always be there. They comfort me. A bit like Bliss.....
